Catalyst Pack

Catalyst Pack

At a svelte 7.5L, the Catalyst Pack has easily made its way onto our top-seller list as a go-to gravel adventure bag. Riders with less clearance and narrow handlebars now have a stellar option for stowing gear on their handlebars and under the saddle. Add carrying capacity to this item with a Bungee Booster.

The Catalyst Pack is a beautiful mid-capacity handlebar and saddle bag. A more compact option than the Zeitgeist Pack, the Catalyst’s trim profile allows for more tire clearance and narrower drop bars. The fitted flap sheds the elements and boasts a small flat zipper pocket for quick access essentials like your ride wallet, chapstick and a snack. Utilize the flap’s daisy chain of webbing to thread a Bungee Booster and stash a layer. The rigid plastic insert offers structure and support for your load. This compact and rock-steady pack is a great option for shredding some gravel and makes a great edition to a lightweight bikepacking rig.

The Catalyst Pack is made in Surabaya, Indonesia and Seattle, WA out of Challenge ECOPAK 100% recycled polyester. This pack contains roughly 10 plastic bottles rescued from ocean beaches.

Still not arrived!!

I’m sure I’m going to love it but it has still not arrived!! Shipped 09/30. Scheduled 10/16. What’s up with that? Now delayed further. OK…I live in Honolulu but something has changed with USPS ground shipping.

Hi Rick, we're sorry to hear that USPS is causing delays! According to tracking your Catalyst pack should arrive shortly. Fingers crossed!
